Andy Warhol would have turned 80 today. It's so tragic to think about the life and art he missed out on. And to wonder what would Andy Warhol have done with the Internet, YouTube, Photoshop...reality TV?! The thought of Andy Warhol in the digital age is mind blowing. The world would be a very different place.
Here is an awesome video of Factory footage for The Party, a song by Cleveman and Rössel of legendary Swedish underground band Dom Dummaste (OK, I've never heard of them but they're a new favorite).
Via very cool blog, Nag on the Lake, who also has some more excellent Andy Warhol links from Slow Learning, like what to wear to Andy's birthday party.

See more dog (and cat) art works here.
See Ginger, a spectacular Cocker Spaniel silk screen, and his Chanel No. 5 posters here.
Update 8.8.08: It seems Andy Warhol did have a chance to embrace MTV in 1985 before he died with a show called Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes. The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh will be showing the pilot and several episodes throughout the weekend starting today.
Also admission today is $0.80 and free if you're 80 years old.
